Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) baking soda
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture looks glossy and well-combined.
  2. Sift in the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together gently until no more streaks of flour are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. Remove when the edges are barely golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
